Lack Of Ohio Deer....

[giles]

None if I’m paying $30/acre. There would be some strict enforcement from the landowner including signage.

Yeah, but that’s a battle from day one.

True. Probably not worth it. Would take at least a year to weed out the turds. Likely to cost you cameras, stands, individual hunts and overall quality.

Its not uncommon for deer to winter on other properties this time of year and then come back to their home ranges in the spring. I would not be worried at all.

Yes they may go winter elsewhere, but where were last year's rubs??? Hell didnt make it to Illinois to hunt last year but was there this week... Trees were tore to shit... This property has been cleaned of deer.. Dave just like behind your house...

Any amish living nearby? I've seen them fish out ponds and decimate wood lots of critters.

Could be a number of reasons the deer aren't there. For $30/ an acre it isn't worth the headache to try bringing them back and without living on the property or even nearby it would take a long time to accomplish.

Sounds like some of the Michigan properties we used to hunt. 100% due to pressure on those, especially when there was adequate habitat.

Seems people only ever want to talk about how great things are. People search Ohio for big dreams and high hopes. When in reality, Ohio is made up of pockets of deer.


The guys had hunted the same area multiple years and made YouTube videos about how awesome it was. Plastering his videos on the web. Now he’s upset because people are all over his spots and seems clueless as to why. He has pushed himself out of his local public honey holes. Over a little bit of YouTube fame.

Link to videos?

I’d move on Rich, sounds like the LO’s lack of enforcement or care of who or how many hunters are hunting it now will be an issue. You not being there year round to monitor it or manage it won’t help. IMO

It starts with the LOer’s willingness to provide you with fair investment or not.

Ric... I already moved on, wasn't even considering it after walking it as I think I've been hunting long enough to realize whether a piece of land has potential or not... Anyone want to prove me wrong PM me and I'll give you the guys name and phone number....
